Monday clinic in Turin, El Salvador

Every day is so different and yet there are some things that do not change. God does not change and we have that promise from Him. We should want to continue to serve Him.......and remember that one day, we will be with Him.

After breakfast, we drove to Turin and set up clinic. Marlene checks in the first patient.

This is the pharmacy area. Cecilia, Conrad and Gaspar mostly worked in the pharmacy. The others came and helped as time allowed.

This is a group shot in the clinic area.

Rebecca and Jennifer checking the blood pressure on one patient.

Racquel checking the pulse on another patient that is being checked in for a consult.

Awwwwww.............that is all that can be said..............awwwwwww.................

Dr. Darrah and Stephanie listen to a patients concern.

Dr. Jenny talks with a patient. I really enjoyed working with Jenny. She is a medical examiner and shared some of her experiences.

Charles looks though his bag of toys as it looks like Roger is going slap him up for taking so long :)
I think this was the sweetest patient of the day.

She did not even fuss or cry during her consult. I had the opportunity to help Dr. Charles.

After the consult, Walter prayed with the patient. It is important to get the members of the congregations involved.

Today we saw 61patients!

One patient that was special was a lady that Dr. Allen saw. She needs a ultrasound and was tearful when we talked about it. We talked to a gentleman from the congregation and he offered to visit her tomorrow and take her for the exam.

It was a good day but it was also a hot day. When we returned to the hotel, I thought about visiting Mr. Doughnut again. The other day Adrian, Marlene and I did and I enjoyed it. But once we got to the hotel, we decided it was too close to dinner.

Tomorrow is the last clinic! I was thinking that we still had one more day but I was wrong. In the morning, we will pack everything into the trucks, split into two groups and do two clinics. After the clinics, we will regroup and drive to San Salvador.

We had our final devotional together. Roger offered us a few things to think about. We continue to remember Jose, who needs eye surgery. We are thankful that Roger's mom and Charle's wife are doing better. We will also continue to pray for the work in El Salvador and that the church will continue to grow.

Please continue to pray for the patients and for us as we travel.
